  I ran the third highest volume store in the chain. Reporting directly to the owners who relied on my vast experience and proven leadership skills to take this location and the company to the next level. Took the Moorpark location from negative comp numbers to over 20% increases consistently for my last 4 months at that location. I then was assigned to the Burbank location where after a complete re-merchandising of the showroom we achieved more then a 30% increase over comp within the first 3 months. The store was 83% over Comp at the time I departed. This had never been accomplished sense that location opened. Show less
